I am planning on buying a new Shimano Spirex to fish Flukes and Bass
Assassins. And I see that they come in either front drag or rear drag.

Whats the difference and what do you prefer?

I prefer front drags. They have bigger washers and are generally considered
better. But I think rear drags have gotten a lot better and will do the job,
so it boils down to personal preference. It is said that rear drags are
easier to adjust during a fight, which may be true, but I don't have a
problem adjusting the front ones. I still use a couple of rear drag reels
and they are no problem at all.
